One swallow may not make a summer, D.,
but this one swallow certainly makes a stunner
of a photograph. A welcome swallow indeed. Well taken.

Hi Delia this is a lovely composition of one of my favourite birds havent seen one yet this year.
Not seeing anybody at the moment and Joelle is pretty fed up at not being able to come over will pass on your best wishes.
